The Trump administration is ignorant and racist This is Spicer's response to a question regarding that there were no Hispanics in his Cabinet. They have no clue that diversity matters. He said "It is a priority but I think it is a very narrow way to look at it to say: 'If you don't appoint people to this particular position that's a problem,' " Spicer said Thursday at a news conference. "The No. 1 thing that I think Americans should focus on is, 'Is he hiring the best and the brightest? Is he hiring people that are committed to enacting real change?'"
Arturo Vargas, executive director of National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, a nonprofit of more than 6,000 Latino elected and appointed public officials, responded Thursday.
"The exclusion of a Latino voice in President-elect Trump's cabinet has set back our nation. Latinos are the nation's second largest population group, one of every four of America's children, and the highest policy body of the country is void of its perspective," Vargas said in a statement." The onus now is on the President to bring in the voice and perspectives of Latinos into his decision making."
